More work on the first con:text (still haven't sorted the branding of this project, colon or period) piece over the weekend.
Didn't quite work out how I imagined but still looking promising.
I shredded and then super-washed (twice) the fabric text piece, hoping to soften the inkjet transfer but it's still like parchment ... which might work. The lines of text will have a lot more body to them in the finished piece, woven in around the beaded elements.
... but you will have to wait for the jewelry bits to emerge.
